As we attend the temple, there can come to us a dimension of spirituality and a feeling of peace which will transcend any other feeling which could come into the human heart.

Avoid the philosophy and excuse that yesterday's luxuries have become today's necessities. They aren't necessities unless we ourselves make them such. . . . It is essential for us to live within our means.

The future is in your hands, the outcome is up to you.

Heavenly Father has a picture of you on His dresser. He loves you and will help you. Call upon Him.

Together we shall move forward doing [the Lord's] work
